Motivated by a desire to combine her artistic background, business experience, and family heritage, Catherine Ruddell launched Creatively <\/a>Sustained<\/a> in Fort St. John in 2020. She offers online and in-person leadership training for organizations, equipping them with the tools to support meaningful relationships within their teams, communities and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a proud member of the M\u00e9tis Nation of British Columbia, Region 7, Catherine deeply values Indigenous reconciliation. Through her workshops, she fosters inclusivity, creativity, and personal growth within a decolonial framework called \u201cCultivating Safe Spaces.\u201d Catherine provides groups and individuals with tools to build understanding, trust, and belonging across diverse perspectives, emphasizing reconciliation and addressing the effects of colonization on Indigenous peoples in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine\u2019s training aligns with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission\u2019s Call to Action #92, which urges Canadian corporations to adopt the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Rights, emphasizing consultation, equitable opportunities, and education for staff on Indigenous history and rights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Catherine was launching\u00a0Creatively Sustained<\/a>, she began looking for resources to learn new business skills and connect with other entrepreneurs. She discovered WeBC and participated in various WeBC programs including a\u00a0Peer Mentoring Group<\/a>\u00a0and initiatives like\u00a0Taking the Stage<\/a>\u00ae Leadership Communication Program. Inspired by the network she found within WeBC\u2019s community, Catherine has now stepped into a new role as Regional Ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the first WeBC ambassador in Fort St. John, Catherine aims to support local businesses and bridge the gap between WeBC\u2019s resources and the entrepreneurial community. With her deep understanding of the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship, her ultimate goal is to foster connection, support, and empowerment among the diverse women-owned businesses in her region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine\u2019s journey exemplifies resilience, adaptability, and a dedication to making a positive impact in her community and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":76892,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"team_category":[],"class_list":["post-76890","webc_team","type-webc_team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCatherine Ruddell -
